Proposals for Research Funding from POPI
From time to time, POPI is able to offer a limited funding for research by students and faculty. In 2003, POPI Co-Directors adopted the following criteria, which POPI funded projects are expected to meet:
Proposed research projects will be:
-
Consistent with POPI’s core strength – the integration of scientific or medical perspectives along with managerial or policy perspectives.
-
Consistent with the expectation that each project would include both readily identifiable scientific/technological and management/policy components.
-
Consistent with the expectation that each project would include two faculty as advisors or mentors – one each from science/technology and management/policy; at least one of the faculty will be an affiliate of POPI.
Examples of research topics that would be expected
to fit the above guidelines include:
-
Analysis of how advancing science and technology are influencing changes in drug discovery and development.
-
Mapping scientific advances in pharmaceuticals to future health care.
-
Policy considerations associated with developing drugs in underserved or ill-defined disease areas.
-
Strategic issues associated with advances in pharmaceutical manufacturing science and technology.
POPI Co-Directors specified processes by which
such proposed research would normally come to their attention:
-
Through participation by prospective student and faculty researchers in a POPI-sponsored workshop or conference.
-
Through participation in 15.136j, 10.547j, 7.547j, HST.920j, “Principles and Practice of Drug Development”, a class taught jointly each Fall term by all four POPI Co-Directors.
-
Through POPI’s regular planning process.
Unsolicited proposals from MIT students and faculty for POPI research support will be considered twice annually by POPI Co-Directors. Proposals for Summer and Fall support must be submitted by the prior May 1st; those for Spring support are due the preceeding November 1st. Proposals can be submitted to any one of the POPI Co-Directors.
All
working papers, manuscripts and publications emerging from partial support
from POPI are expected to acknowledge, in writing, the source of that
support through POPI.
